The first state to secede was South Carolina in December 1860.
By the time Lincoln was inaugurated in March 1861, there were seven states in the newly-formed Confederacy.
Virginia looked as though it would stay loyal, as many senior Virginians, including Robert E. Lee, hoped it would. But after the attack on Fort Sumter, and Lincoln's call for volunteer troops, Virginia joined the Confederacy.
This triggered North Carolina into doing the same (reluctantly), or it would have been isolated among Confederate states.
